Have you searched the MS KB for help on this ? My guess is that there will be a registry change to fix or workaround it. And that you will seem similar issues even when dealing solely with MS servers.
Yes, the KB is no help. However, I did pick around in the XP registry and found the following that might be of use.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E211B736-43FD-11D1-9EFB-0000F8757FCD}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E211B736-43FD-11D1-9EFB-0000F8757FCD}(type) REG_EXPAND_SZ
InfoTip @%SystemRoot%\system32\wiashext.dll,-330 LocalizedString @%SystemRoot%\system32\wiashext.dll,-331
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{E211B736-43FD-11D1-9EFB-0000F8757FCD}\AddDevice\shell\open\command(type) REG_SZ
(default) rundll32 wiashext.dll,AddDeviceWasChosen
I don't know if it matters to samba, but it looks like the InfoTip and LocalizedString entries cause the expansion. Why in the heck it happens accessing my personal/soccer share via samba is the mystery. It looks like there might be something strange in the way samba is handling the @%SystemRoot% string.
Does any of this make sense??????
